In the landscape of wide bandgap semiconductor materials, silicon carbide (SiC) has emerged as a highly regarded material, particularly excelling in the high-power conversion domain.

Stress in quartz glass components refers to the uneven internal stress generated by various factors. Essentially, it's the stored elastic strain generated by the unbalanced forces acting on atoms or molecules within the material. This can cause microscopic distortions in the material structure, which in turn can affect the object's macroscopic performance.

Silicon material is a solid material with certain semiconductor electrical properties and physical stability, and provides substrate support for the subsequent integrated circuit manufacturing process. It is a key material for silicon-based integrated circuits. More than 95% of semiconductor devices and more than 90% of integrated circuits in the world are made on silicon wafers.

Silicon carbide (SiC) is a material that possesses exceptional thermal, physical and chemical stability, exhibiting properties that go beyond those of conventional materials. Its thermal conductivity is an astonishing 84W/(m·K), which is not only higher than copper but also three times that of silicon. This demonstrates its enormous potential for use in thermal management applications.

Semiconductor ceramic parts belong to advanced ceramics and are an indispensable part of the semiconductor manufacturing process. The raw materials for preparation are usually high-purity, ultra-fine inorganic materials, such as aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, aluminum nitride, silicon nitride, yttrium oxide, zirconium oxide, etc.

The Silicon Carbide (SiC) production process encompasses the preparation of substrate and epitaxy from the materials side, followed by chip design and manufacturing, device packaging, and finally, distribution to downstream application markets. Among these stages, substrate material processing is the most challenging aspect of the SiC industry. SiC substrates are both hard and brittle, making cutting, grinding, and polishing extremely difficult. This increases the likelihood of defects during processing and reduces the yield rate. Currently, major international SiC manufacturers are planning to transition from 6-inch to 8-inch SiC wafers. Overcoming the challenges associated with 8-inch substrates has become a critical benchmark for the SiC industry. This article will introduce the key parameters of SiC substrates.
